Solution

Electric dipole moment:

  1. An electric dipole is made up of two opposing charges, Q and -Q, separated by a distance of d.
  2. The orientation of electric dipoles throughout space is consistently from negative charge -Q to positive charge Q by default. The center of the dipole is defined as the midway Q and -Q.
  3. Formula of electric dipole moment: p=Q×2a. Here, Q is the charge and 2a is the separation between charges.
  4. The SI unit of electric dipole moment amperesecondmeter
